    I Know What You’re Doing This Summer

    When is it appropriate to tell people you’re going to run a marathon?

    Training has been on my mind a lot right now and so has the actual race, but I don’t know how much yammering about it is too much. At least, I should probably let my roommates know so they understand why I will suddenly be going to bed early, reappearing in the morning and eating all the things. I’ve put it off because it’s a stressful time for them, but all they really have to do is not eat my peanut butter. And they’re good at that already.

    This question is only half-serious so feel free to make fun of me. But not too much, okay?

    2. melissanat answered: I’m always hesitant about discussion for fear it will sound braggy, so I usually mention that sharing with everyone makes me accountable
    3. regainingmymoxy said: I don’t know. Maybe just train an then be all OH YEAH, BTW I’LL BE RUNNING THE NYC MARATHON THIS WEEKEND.
    4. weightwasagift answered: As soon as possible. Because, why not? I’d wear it with pride. And it helps accountability and all of that.
    5. runslikeapenguin answered: I’ve tried to contain my running madness almost exclusively to tumblr/twitter… but sorta wish I bragged on FB more. :( Do it!
    6. runningbeautiful answered: dude. OWN THAT SHIT. be all “I’m training for a marathon, what the fuck are you doing?” And then roundhouse kick them to the face.
    7. rindyrunsforherlife said: I feel the same way. I have people in my life who really want to track my training, and I’m sure there are others who don’t want to listen to it. I post stuff here and there on Facebook and I figure if they get too annoyed they can hide me.
